About the Service

The Recycling Centre Delivered to Your Location

No more piles of black bags left on the street for foxes to rip open and neighbours to complain about. Instead, clean, clearly-labelled wheelie bins are delivered directly to your production location so waste can be sorted efficiently throughout the shoot.

We partner with Biffa Waste to ensure all materials are processed sustainably. Dry recycling goes to dedicated recycling facilities supporting a circular economy. Non-recyclable general waste is converted through waste-to-fuel electricity generation — nothing goes to landfill unnecessarily.

The service is built around how productions actually work: flexible collection times (early morning or late evening), bins that are easily moved around set, and schedules that adapt as the job evolves.

Our Services

Every Waste Stream, Handled Properly

Separate bins for every type of waste your production generates. Each stream is processed via the most sustainable method available.

Dry Recycling

Mixed recyclables processed at dedicated recycling facilities. Materials are sorted and reprocessed, supporting a circular economy and keeping resources in use.

General Waste

Non-recyclable materials are not sent to landfill. Instead, they are converted through waste-to-fuel processes to generate electricity — energy recovery from every collection.

Waste-to-fuel electricity generation

Food Waste

Collected via dedicated food waste bins and transported to anaerobic digesters. Each tonne of food waste processed produces 500 kWh of clean energy and nutrient-rich byproducts.

Composting

Plant-based crockery and compostable materials (including Vegware) are sent to composting facilities where they are converted into soil improver. A natural, zero-waste process.
